Patient's question:
Over the past year, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. I have experienced severe menstrual cramps, requiring bed rest each month and sometimes needing pain relievers to manage the pain. My menstrual flow is also quite heavy, and I sometimes experience symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed me with endometriosis.What kind of assistance would you like: What are the basic symptoms of endometriosis?
Doctor's answer:
Surgical Treatment: There are two types of surgery - radical surgery and conservative surgery. For young patients or those who still need to preserve their fertility, endometrioma cystectomy and lesion resection are considered radical surgeries; for patients who do not wish to conceive again, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with lesion removal can be performed, preserving one or both ovaries partially, followed by adjuvant drug treatment, which has a lower recurrence rate; women near menopause can undergo conservative surgery, including total hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, and salpingectomy.
